oops, just read that first sentence.  I meant I had NOT studied birds.  Only appreciated them.  A friend asked me today how it was I ''saw the bird way up there''.   I smiled.  Have I ever driven past a bird without noticing?  Doesn't everybody notice every bird?   I found the question kinda odd.

What great information.  My deep love and fascination for birds has included gaining knowledge ABOUT birds.  I used to feel it would ''ruin the magic'' to know.  In my later years now (55 is later, yes?) I'm enjoying adding the associated information and find it takes nothing away....actually adds to the wonder.  Thank you for ...

This bird was photographed at Ashley Nat'l Forest, Argyle Canyon Road, East of Hwy 191, as they were leaving the area of Camp Timberlane about 1PM 6/28/08.  Anyone out there know Utah birds?  ~W.

I'm new to this site and don't have experience using forums.  I posted a picture on the gallery of a large bird atop a tree in Utah.  Not sure what it is.  The Boy Scout who took the pictures asked if someone could tell him what kind of bird it it.  Can I upload a picture to this forum?   Thanks for your help.  ...

This bird was seen in Utah after a Father and Son outing...wondering what it might be?  Surely is big!
